Speech #1100055578

Problem number one: This legislation is an amnesty bill. I am sorry if that doesnt go by the definition that Is handed down by the White House. which obviously has the ability to define or redefine words. but it is an amnesty bill. This bill grants immediate legal status to illegal aliens. and that legal status happens immediately. before any of the enhancements. They will have what they call "enforcement enhancements" in the bill that will help us "enforce our immigration laws." But before any of those enhancements are activated. and they are called the triggers. before they are activated. every person who is here illegally will be able to be granted legal status. a temporary visa. It is called a Z visa. So 24 hours after an illegal immigrant files an application. they will be granted a probationary visa. the socalled Z visa. It will be issued. and with that legal status. that visa. comes the right to live and work in the United States: Immediate legalization for everyone who is here. The President tries to suggests it is not amnesty because we are not granting citizenship. And then a big cloud of smoke comes up for people to try to understand whats going on here. Amnesty doesnt mean granting citizenship. amnesty means somebody is doing something illegal and you have now made it legal. All of them get this amnesty. this legalization. within 24 hours of applying the minute this legislation passes. That is whether or not the triggers. the enforcement mechanisms that are also in the bill. if they are never activated. these socalled probationary visas will never expire. They will continue on. Every 8 years or so they will have to be reapplied for. but they can be reapplied for and granted further extensions forever. And the Social Security cards which come with that can be issued. These people when they have Z visas. these probationary visas. they are now eligible for all of our government programs with the Social Security cards and all of the other things that people who are here legally. people who immigrated to this country legally. people who waited for years to come here. who obeyed our rules. these other people are going to get it immediately. Of course. U.S. citizens. what does U.S. citizenship get?
